~ History ~

Jews probably settled in Pylypets' in the first half of the 19th century.

In 1830, the Jewish population was 38.

By 1880, the Jewish population increased to 78 (of a total population of 595).

A few Jews farmed and one owned a flour mill.

With the Hungarian occupation of Pylypets' in March, 1939, Jews were persecuted and pushed out of their occupations. In 1940-41, dozens of Jews from Pylypets' were drafted into forced labor battalions and others were drafted for service on the Eastern front, where most died.

By 1941, the Jewish population dropped to 110.

In 1941, a few Jewish families without Hungarian citizenship were expelled to Nazi occupied Ukrainian territory, to Kamenets-Podolski, and murdered there.

The remaining Jews of Pylypets' were deported to Auschwitz late May, 1944.

A great many of the Jews from Pylypets' were murdered in Auschwitz and any survivors settled elsewhere.

In 2001, Pylypets' had about 1,104 inhabitants and no Jews live there today.
